Not sure what you're doin' for lunch today? Have an extra hour or so to wait in a long line of cheapskates to score a $1 sandwich? Well, if so, head to numerous Jimmy John's locations today for Customer Appreciation Day from 11am-3pm and get any 8 inch sub for $1. We're not sure it'll be worth the hassle because everyone and their mom is tweeting/facebooking about it, but hey, a cheap sandwich is a cheap sandwich. Limit one per customer per location.

UPDATE: This is apparently a union-busting effort (thanks for the tip anonymous commenter) local Jimmy John's employees are unionizing AND on strike:
MINNEAPOLIS– Sandwich workers at nine Minneapolis Jimmy John's locations made history this morning as they filed for the first-ever National Labor Relations Board union election at the national fast food chain. If a majority of workers vote in favor of unionization, franchise owner Mike Mulligan will be legally bound to negotiate with a bargaining team elected by his employees.

Before lunch, you should know that Jimmy John's workers are unionizing AND on strike.

This sale is a union-busting effort. Think about what you're doing before you cross a picket line.
We included that in the post. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteA simple Google search turns up Customer Appreciation Days around the country, and in 2009. So the assertion that this sale is a union-busting effort is highly questionable, at best. It seems more likely that the union timed their filing to try to attract attention during the sale.
